Religious double standard?

Is college using a double standard on 'entanglement' with religion?

Excerpt:

[Minneapolis Community and Technical College] is planning to install facilities for Muslims to use in preparing for daily prayers, an apparent first at a public institution in Minnesota ...So the college is making plans to use taxpayer funds to install facilities for ritual foot-washing.

t's hard to imagine the college researching and paying for special modifications to the college to facilitate Christian rituals. And the "safety" justification? Imagine if a particularly strict group of Christian students found it necessary to sometimes baptize others in the restroom sinks. Would the school build them a baptism basin because a student hit his head on a sink?
